Vinyl trim cleaning/shining

That vinyl tape that covers the screws in the edge moulding is replaceable. It can be cleaned with SOC pads or whatever, but every Winter here it gets black/grey spots of mould and is a real chore to get it back to white every Spring.

A guy at our campground now has a Nash 5er, which has black vinyl tape in his edges instead of white! It looks pretty good. I bet he does not have to do all that work every Spring. I am thinking of getting that black stuff.

Well, here is one more try. I use 303 aerospace protectant on my graphics. It gives mine a deep rich shine, makes a noticeable difference, but mine were not bad to start with.

It does claim to RESTORE & maintain a like-new appearance, texture, and color.

Easy to use, may be worth a try.

Jerry,

I'm actually looking to restore the vinyl graphics on the trailer.

I was looking for a magical cleaner/restorer that I could just wipe on and everything would look like new. The fiberglass looks just like it just came out of the factory (if not better); the raggedy vinyl graphics makes it look old (kinda like me).

I did look in a catalogue from a local RV shop, and new graphics are certainly not expensive. I just dread having to remove all the old. I've read a number of posts here about removing graphics, and it doesn't sound like a fun job.

Looks like that's gonna be the next job though.

Thanks,
Doug

Doug, if you are talking about the replaceable vinyl trim around the coach edges, I would do just that (replace it). I replaced it on my previous FW. It is easy to do, and not very expensive either.

Glad the fiberglass cleaned up nicely. It is a good feeling having a unit a few years old, that looks new.

Happy camping,
Jerry
